  • Best Podcast Ever!!

    I would much rather watch 80’s movies than the newer movies that are out today. The 80’s Flick Flashback features some of my favorite movies. I love listening to their opinions of the movies and the memories they have. A few of my favorites are Mr. Mom, Spacecamp, Peewee’s Big Adventure, Licensed to Drive. Keep up the great work!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Blind Date" (1987) with Laramy Wells
Q: Was the director Blake Edwards aiming for a dark drama or a comedy from the start?
Edwards was known for comedies; the film was always intended as a comedy, contrary to the idea that the studio forced a slapstick shift.
"Blind Date" (1987) with Laramy Wells
Q: What was the original lead casting considered for Blind Date before Bruce Willis?
Madonna and Sean Penn were initially considered for the lead before the project settled on Blake Edwards directing with Bruce Willis ultimately cast.
"The Transformers: The Movie" (1986) with Nicholas Pepin
Q: Why do you think the film chose to kill off major characters early?
The discussion suggests it was a strategic decision to invigorate toy sales and introduce new characters, accepting that it weighed on fans but created a legacy impact and later debate about the approach.
"The Transformers: The Movie" (1986) with Nicholas Pepin
Q: When did you first see Transformers The Movie (1986)?
Both hosts recount uncertain memories from childhood, with Tim admitting it might have been watched later on VHS and Nicholas recalling it as a traumatizing, though memorable, experience that stuck with him.
"Saturday the 14th" (1981) with Laramy Wells
Q: True or false? The film was rushed into production to beat a rival horror comedy originally titled Thursday the 12th.
True; United Artists accelerated production to release before Pandemonium, a rival spoof, which later released under that title.
